This is due to Kirchoff's law. The total voltage around a closed loop must be zero.This is related to energy conservation. An electron (for example) needs a certain energy to go from point "A" to point "B", against the electrical forces (voltage, really). Voltage is defined as energy per unit charge. If the electron could, for example, go one way and gain an energy of 5 electron-volts (the energy an electron gains when going through a potential of 5 volts), then go another way and lose 4 electron-volts, this could be used to build a perpetuum mobile - therefore it isn't possible.
What else can I help you with?
What is the same in each branch of a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same.
Is voltage the same in parallel circuits?
No, voltage is not the same in parallel circuits. Voltage is constant across components in a series circuit, but in a parallel circuit, each component has the same voltage as the power source.
What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, voltage is the same across each branch of the circuit. This means that the voltage remains constant regardless of the number of devices or components connected in parallel.
How much voltage does each branch of a parallel circuit?
Yes. The voltage across every branch of a parallel circuit is the same. (It may not be the supply voltage, if there's another component between the power supply and either or both ends of the parallel circuit.)
In a parallel circuit the voltage is across all branches?
the same In a parallel circuit, the voltage travels through all the closed circuit paths. They are not branches.
What is the same in each branch of a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same.

No, voltage is not the same in parallel circuits. Voltage is constant across components in a series circuit, but in a parallel circuit, each component has the same voltage as the power source.

Yes. The voltage across every branch of a parallel circuit is the same. (It may not be the supply voltage, if there's another component between the power supply and either or both ends of the parallel circuit.)
Is the current the same everywhere in the parallel circuit?
No. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere. The voltage across a parallel circuit is the same.
In a parallel circuit the is the same for every leg in the circuit?
voltage
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel potion of the circuit?
A: There is no voltage drop running through in a parallel circuit but rather the voltage drop across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same
In a parallel circuit the voltage is across all branches?
the same In a parallel circuit, the voltage travels through all the closed circuit paths. They are not branches.
What is same in the parallel circuit?
the term voltage is constant in parallel circuits
In which circuit is the voltage the same across all branches?
Parallel circuit.
What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
The supply voltage in a parallel circuit remains the same regardless of the number of additional resistors connected. The voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit is the same as the supply voltage. Adding more resistors in parallel will increase the total current drawn from the supply.
What type of circuit has the same voltage drop across each of its components?
A parallel circuit. Since a parallel circuit has only two nodes, there can be only one voltage difference between the nodes.
